I am working on my first build and have been researching a lot to figure out what components I wanted.
So far the build looks like this
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FNsWLk
The selected motherboard is just one of the possible ones I've seen recommended around the $100-150 price range, so I selected it as a place holder. I would like it to support sli, as I might want to utilize that in the future, able to be fitted with a wifi adapter(which I would also appreciate suggestions for), and have 4 slots for ram.
For the gtx 980, are there any major differences between the different manufacturers? I heard that evga is known for making good intel cards and newegg was having a 7% discount for the evga FTW axc 2.0 card, so I figured it would be worth getting the card for $500 dollars over the others. I was primarily also looking at gigabytes and some of the other evga cards, and maybe the msi.
I am also not sure about my cpu cooler, but I have heard good things about the cooler master hyper 212 evo. At the moment I am not planning on overclocking, particularly because I don't know too much about it and I think my system will run fine without out, however I would like it as an option in the future as a way to get better performance if I need it after I learn more about how to overclock. Is this cooler too loud/not good enough for my cpu? I was considering noctua nH-d14, but I think that it might be pointless and I would just be paying money for no reason.
Also, I was considering buying noctua nf-f12 case fans for better airflow, but I wasn't sure how many I should buy. Also, many reviews said that the stock fans in the enthoo pro were more than enough, so I wasn't sure if buying additional ones is even necessary. So I was wondering if the stock fans in this case would be enough and also how loud would they be. Would it be a good idea to buy a few of the noctuas and put them in in addition to the stock or would they be pointless?
The last thing I wasn't sure about was the monitor. I plan on primarily gaming with my pc, and I was thinking of a 144hz 24 inch 1080p with g sync. However, I have been considering 1440p since my gpu should be able to handle it with a still very high fps. Do you think g sync and 1440p would be worth looking into? Any recommendations would be great, I would prefer it being $500 or cheaper, depending on what features the monitor has.
Thank you for helping, and if you have any other suggestions about other parts of my build I would love to hear them. This is my first one so I'm not super knowledgeable about everything.
